Is every team in the BIG going to shoot over 50% against us in the first half... except Maryland? Iowa shooting 64% from the floor.

Iowa, to me, is a slightly better offensive team than our illini due to being a better shooting team. But only slightly.

On the other hand, neither team plays defense with a lockdown mentality. If Iowa shoots a decent percentage...they win.

If the Illini commit as a team to defend, they win. It is sad to me that this mentality is not present every night.

I've said this year in and year out, but I just don't feel safe at all with Coleman dribbling. It almost seems like he's thinking too much about what he wants to do and he constantly double dribbles, travels, or turns it over.

He is a fantastic defender and a proven shooter. I just don't want him playmaking.

How do you not at least try a different defensive approach?

Does the B1G network turned down the volume output of our crowd?
